Deacs Continue 12-Match Homestand
• After a 14-4 start, No. 9-ranked Wake Forest continues a season-long, 13-match homestand this weekend with matches against Pfeiffer, Boston College, No. 38 Notre Dame and Morehead State.

The Deacons opened ACC play with a 5-2 victory against Georgia Tech on Friday, dropped a tightly-contested 4-3 decision to NC State on Sunday and closed out the week with a 7-0 sweep of Tennessee Tech.
• Christian Seraphim was dominant on the weekend, going 3-0 in both singles and doubles. After playing at the No. 6 singles position in the team's first 13 matches, Seraphim moved up to No. 4 last week and did not drop more than two games in a set in his three victories.
• Maksim Kan also won three times in straight sets, improving to 7-0 on the spring.
Deacs at the Davis Cup
